I'm having this odd problem every now and then with my computer, running WinXP SP1 w/all necessary updates. I've run virus scanners and Adaware and come up with nothing funky.
I "seem" to have narrowed it down to running DivX movies via Windows Media Player, but it doesn't alway reproduce itself.
Basically, what happens is explorer.exe seems to balloon and hog up tons of memory, and my entire computer slows down to a crawl. The only fix is rebooting, or ending explorer.exe and restarting that. Starting to get real annoying ;p
Any suggestions? Need more info?
